also, giantsgurl was right after me ...

She'd be best served handcuffing her other stud considering he coming off an ACL reconstruction late in the season & the other handcuff is also right up the board of best available RB.

Hmm.. I might just get the guy I want.

& oh yeah.. I just don't see the Texans being a Running team like they were last year.. Greg Knapp is now the OC in Oakland & he was a big supporter of the ZBS & I could see the Texans going back to the Schuab to Andre Johnson bread and butter this season.

Schaub to AJ is always their bread and butter regardless of the running game ... it's just can the two stay healthy?

Also, Kubiak is the real reason for the running game and ZBS. He was an assistant to Mike Shanahan in Denver ... the ZBS guru.
